“We are committed to helping all of our residents to not just live longer but to live better,” said Maria Santangelo, Pine Run Executive Director. “Guided by the seven dimensions of wellness — Physical Wellness, Emotional Wellness, Intellectual Wellness, Spiritual Wellness, Environmental Wellness, Social Wellness, and Occupational Wellness — Pine Run seeks to offer residents a balanced lifestyle with a focused approach to physical health and exercise. We know that there is a significant connection between mind and body and Healthy Living at Pine Run encourages, challenges, and engages our residents so that they can live their best lives.”

The Pine Run Healthy Living team offers an impressive array of events, activities and senior fitness classes.

After the Tour – What’s Next?

A move to Pine Run Retirement Community in Doylestown PA almost always starts with a tour of the community and several visits to a variety of cottages and apartments. When individuals or couples are thinking of a move to a senior living community the topic of timing is an important consideration, along with the style of home you are interested in, community amenities, and cost.

Moving to a “retirement community”, or an independent senior living community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) or Life Plan community, can provide significant lifestyle and financial benefits for individuals and couples.

A retirement community provides low-maintenance living that allows for ease of travel and no worries about home or yard maintenance. With beautiful amenities, the move is very good for your social life with opportunities to dine, socialize, volunteer, and contribute to things that matter to you. Fitness and aquatics centers make wellness easy and accessible; on-site medical care make future transitions easier; and with a variety of price points and contract options, it may be more affordable then you think.
